The Enterprise crew become content and quite happy when sprayed by spores…even Spock, which is quite entertaining.
Not my FAVORITE, but one of them…well-written and performed.
Highlights:
eerieness
Spock’s acting/antics/explanation
Kirk/Spock’s forced confrontation – at this point friendship well established, it is truly dramatic
Lowlights:
a continuity error or two
Spock’s random sexist remark
Spockism: “I am what I am, Leila. And if there are self-made purgatories, then we all have to live in them. Mine can be no worse than someone else’s.”
Too good not to have another-
Spockism, Part Two: “I have little to say about it, Captain. Except…for the first time in my life…I was happy.”
